EH This telegram must be London closely paraphrased be- fore being communicated Dated April 3, 1941 to anyone. (SC) Rec'd 9:35 p.m. Secretary of State, Washington. RUSH. 1309, April 3, 9 p.m. (SECTION NINE). In order to decrease the consumption of wheat, the government plans to use ten percent of potato flour in bread. It will be done to decrease wheat shipments in order to save tonnage space for other commodities. I also understand that it is likely that the government will take over the transport system within the next three months, and that the buying of clothes will probably be rationed within a very short time. I agreed not to repeat these last three items of information except to you and the Secretary. WINANT NPL |
